They would go bad instantly. I would assume these would be only suitable for banana bread. Reminds me of prechopped veggies that are way overpriced.
Both these bananas and the pre-chopped veggies are nice for people with disabilities.
Oh that makes more sense. But they should wrap the bananas individually so they don’t brown as quick
Edit: wait, if someone with a disability can’t peel a banana, how will they open this package?

I think you’re coming to a realization.
Are there more people with disabilities, or more stupid people?
You may not think it’s not popular and a waste,but that’s because the people who need and buy these items are generally doing their shopping when you’re at school/work.

I do not. I’m just asking if there are more people with disabilities, or more stupid people?
At least they aren’t packaged each with the plastic wrap.
I do not know if that is better or worse, but that is something definitely.
Definitely worse-- Japan has a huge problem with waste, and a ton of that is because of their culture around packaging things.

Lemmy moment.
He exists because his parents had sex. Having sex is stupid now?

Specific models of dumpsters found in national parks. Apparently making sure that the smartest bear can’t get into a dumpster while making sure the dumbest person can is a grey zone.
Shops with perpetual “sales” and prices ending with 99.
JC Penney went through a period where they did away with their perpetual “sale” and normalized their pricing. Their sales tanked as a result. Apparently a lot of people who shop there are idiots.
The one time I went while they were just offering low prices was awesome. Just $8/shirt, no coupons or sales to turn a $20 shirt into a ln $8 one. Most people really like seeing a big number then having to pay a smaller one though.
The former SVP of Apple Retail Ron Johnson, specifically. He actually thought the people who shopped at JC Penny were the same as the people who shopped at an Apple Store.
thought it was JC Benjamin
I’m gonna get downvoted for this but… gaming consoles.
Gaming consoles made sense back in the day before home computing took off, and for a while they actually had superior hardware than computers when it came specifically to running games. But nowadays gaming consoles are just locked down user-hostile computers with a subscription service attached. The gaming equivalent of inkjet printers. It’s an industry made irrelevant by advancements in technology, propped up by misleading marketing and artificial hype that sadly many people fall for.
I have a PS5 because it will play the damned games. There’s nothing in the PC realm for $400 I could buy that could come close to guaranteeing the same thing. Consoles don’t exist because people are stupid, they exist because gaming and GPU companies are cartels just like almost every other sector of the economy.
There is value in static hardware so you can perform specific optimizations and target framerate. The subscriptions are 100% bullshit though.
New PC graphics cards alone cost as much as entire games consoles. The top end ones cost the same as multiple PS5s. That’s why consoles exist.
The old consoles also were just plug the game in and boot up.
No Hassle.
Now they sounds like Windows boxes.
Lotteries. If people understood odds they’d never buy a ticket, or at least not in the numbers they do.
Lotteries are a tax on hope, not stupidity.
Tiktok

Lots of subscription based services, like heated seats in cars
My high school mandatory epilepsy training for teachers and staff because the art teacher stepped over me while I was seizing on the floor during class. Other students had to carry me to the nurse because I couldn’t walk right after the seizure. Teacher wouldn’t even call the nurse to let her know what was up

Short-term warranties for electronics that aren’t expensive.
These things are especially evil in Australia where consumer protections are stronger and usually exceed the stated warranty.
I’ve had this conversation many times:
“Can I interest you in an extended warranty with that?”
“No thanks, it’s no better than consumer protection”
“Fair enough. Had to ask”
When i worked for office Max, back when they still existed, they told us to always always always push the “extended warranty”…
$4.00 on a $15.00 calculator… Even if you’re making minimum wage, the time spent dicking around with the warranty crap, you could have bought a better calculator when the first broke.
$4 is 27% of $15. Are you telling me that this calculator has a greater than 27% chance of failing within 1 year? If so, I’ll shop elsewhere. If not, your warranty is a ripoff and I’ll shop elsewhere.
Ah! No no no! See that’s what makes the Office Max Difference!©®™
It’s three years instead of one! /s
These laptop fans I bought a while back had a warranty of 60 days. At that stage I wonder why even bother. They worked just fine for years, though.
